The Australien Government has made an ad about the new media legislation it just passed, and it's surprisingly honest and informative!
Our Government just passed a new law, the News Media Bargaining Code, that fundamentally alters the relationship between Big Media & Big tech, so I thought we could do with an Honest Government Ad about it. Especially since other Govts are sure to try and emulate it... 🌎🌍🌏
Huge thanks to @Lizzie_OShea for giving me expert advice on the legislation and how it effectively aligns the interests of Big Media & Big Tech, a perceptive analysis that many seem to have overlooked. You can read more of Lizzie's take here overland.org.au/2021/02/facebo…
Lizzie also chairs @DRWaus which has shittons of great material about the Code and surveillance capitalism in general digitalrightswatch.org.au/2021/02/19/fac…
🙋‍♀️Thanks to our special guests @MichaelWestBiz and @friendlyjordies for joining us on this Honest Government Ad! (our first ever cameo in the Honest Government Ads series yay)
🙏 And as always, huge gratitutde and respect to all our Patrons who make this, and all our videos possible. If you value what we do, please join them: patreon.com/thejuicemedia
We’ll be back soon with the podcast companion for this HGA, in which we’ll discuss the topic in more depth.

And also the PG version which you'll find on our Teachers page: thejuicemedia.com/teachers/

Till then, take care
💛 Giordano

The Australien Government wasn't allowed to speak at the latest Climate Summit – so it made an ad about its climate policy instead, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

This is a special double-length Honest Government Ad, featuring our first ever time-travel sequence because there's just so much shitfuckery to cover ✨
Thank you @RichieMerzian (and others who shall not be named) for helping me get my head around this gordian knot of a story, and to make sure graphs and figures are correct. Any errors are of course my own - and the government's

The US Government has made an ad about QAnon and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. 🐇
Friends, here’s our latest Honest Government Ad. I haven't seen any satire about #QAnon. It’s ripe for being satirised. But as always I'm not here just to have a lol, I wanted to also offer an analysis that might help some of those who've been sucked into the rabbit's rectum 🐇
Coz we need people who care about truth & justice (as QAnons claim to be) to remain tethered to reality. We need the people who would normally be on the frontline in the fight against shitfuckery, not to be it's cheerleaders! Thx to @Scottludlam for sharing thoughts w/me on this

Today the case to extradite Assange resumes - the most brazen and consequential assault on the press of our lifetimes: a Govt is prosecuting a publisher for exposing it's crimes. Many have asked us to make a new Honest Government Ad about it, but this one is sadly still current
None of the criminals behind the murderous war in Iraq and Agfhanistan have been so much as prosecuted, let alone punished. But the publisher who exposed their cimes is facing a lifetime in jail. (Are you comfortable with that?)
Bear in mind that Assange is being prosecuted for doing what national security journalists do on a regular basis: collaborating with sources to obtain and publish documents in the public interest. Also known as: GOOD JOURNALISM

The US Postal Service has made an ad about mail-in voting, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! 🇺🇸✉

👉 Register to vote: vote.org
👉 Request mail-in ballot: vote.org
Hi again America 👋

back to lend a hand with that election you're about to have that'll shape this century and the lives of all those walking this planet for decades to come. Which is why we're taking a detour from our usual coverage of the Australien Government shitfuckery
We're not here to tell Americans who to vote for. The video isn't pro-Biden or anti-Trump.

It's pro *democracy*

It urges folks to register & request their mail-in ballot early. Coz low turn-out is the main threat to a fair election

Hope we're all cool with democracy here 👍

The US Government has made an ad about its response to the pandemic, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. 🇺🇸
We've had so many Americans begging us to make an Honest Government Ad for their government. So we decided to give it a go. I hope we did your shit government justice. It almost makes ours feel benign by comparison
Despite the levity, we're genuinely concerned about what's happening in your country and we hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe 🙏💛

Me: Why do you fight?

Naomi Klein: it's a cauldron of forces that keep me going, of emotions. Not to be too witchy about it. You heard a little of the rage that keeps me going. But it's also fear... (Thread)

(transcribing bc @NaomiAKlein's final words in our interview are 💛🔥)
"I fear for the world that we've created unless we change course. I fear for my son & his friends. And all of us: it's not just the kids we have to worry about
"I want better for us

And I think that that comes from a place of love

I deeply, deeply love the natural world & find it unbearable to think of the depletion of wonder & beauty & the unnecessary hazards we're creating for people who deserve none of this. And for non-people
